Office of Small Business Advocate: internet website: information.
- Requires the Office of Small Business Advocate to post small business startup guides on its website.
- Expands the office's online resources beyond nonprofit information to include for-profit business guidance.
- Enhances access to state business resources without requiring additional funding.
Assembly Member Chen's proposal to expand the Office of Small Business Advocate's online resources would require the office to provide information about starting small businesses in California through its website.
The measure builds upon the office's existing mandate within the Governor's Office of Business and Economic Development (GO-Biz), where it currently maintains online resources for nonprofit organizations. Under present law, the office posts guidance for starting nonprofit corporations and achieving compliance with state requirements. The proposed addition would extend these informational services to include resources specifically designed for individuals seeking to establish small businesses in California.
The Office of Small Business Advocate would implement this change through its current website infrastructure, with no additional appropriations required. While the bill establishes the requirement to post small business startup information, it does not specify the exact content or timeline for implementation.
